TM imam m-x. imi may PM ubtuimui iii z gi imgw v IL 15 PI'PfPIIPd film; the feed umi'mnunis Hwy hawimm. muslin-Pd. mmplisiwi i Liza isi-- L Hort iiluuratcd, consists of a .reciprocatory platen that can be moved'back and forth upon said bed by any suitable mechanism, for example such that shown in Letters Patent lo. 915,174 granted March 1t, 1905). The tool-carrier is denoted in a general way by 4- and shown, consists of an arm supported at or near one terminal for oscillotion, by the cross rail or stationary shaft 5 sustaincl at its ends by columns or stand ards as rising from and suitably fastened to the base or bed 2 at the front and rear near one end thereof. said columns being fastened rigidly as by bolting or otherwise, to said bed.

The grinding-wheel is designated by 7 and it is fastened in some suitable way to the ro-- tary shaft 8 supported between the extensions 9 constituting a fork at the inner end of the oscillatory carrier or arm 4, one end of the shaft 8 projecting beyond one of the extensions (Fig 3) and the reducing or grinding wheel 7 being); connected with this end of said shaft.

v'liile any suitable means may be provided for rotating the reducing tool or grinding wheel 7 that shown and now to be described has been found highly advantageous. The driver for the grinding wheel 7 as shown, consists of a band or belt wheel 10 preferably as illustrated made in the form of a drum or sufficiently elongated to insure :1 proper driving relation between said driver 10 and the driven member 11, (connected by a belt or band as 1.2) at all times or during the en tire amount of transverse movement of the tool-carrier or oscillatory arm 4:. The driver it? as represented, fastened to the rotary shaft ii which may be driven in any desir a l manner; the means shown for this purlu'nvcreiz will be hereinafter described. shaft 1' is spported by hearings or brackets 'l-i extending outwardly from the columns In the construction shown the mile of osr-illation of the tool-carrier 4 is between the centers of rotation of the driver or drum 10 and the reducing: wheel 7 and also of the pulley 11 which in the construction shown concentric with the said reducing wheel 7. The driver or drum 10 may be operated in any suitable manner, for instance from an overhead cone (not shown) adapted to be connected by a belt or hand therewith. For this purpose said driver or drum 10 is shown having: steps 15 and 16 of different diameters. to intcrrhanjreably receive said belt driven from said overhead cone and by which the speed of the driver or drum 10 and therefore of the grinding wheel 7 can be varied.

In the organization illustrated the reducing wheel 7 is continuously rotative, although this is not always material. Fastoned to the shaft 13 the pulley l8 connected by a belt 19 with the pulley E20 fastened to the shaft 21 in turn rigidly carrying the pulley 252, said .shaft 21 being sustained for rotation by a bracket or hearing 23 attached in some suitable manner to the bed 2. The pulley .22 is shown connected by a belt 24 with the pulley 25 on the shaft 26. The belt 24 tra erses one step of the pulley 25 the other step thereof receiving the belt 27 connected with the pulley 28 which in turn is fastened to the shaft 29 on the pump 30. The mechanism for reciprocating the platen or work-carrier 3 is coiiperative with said shaft 26. As will be understood the platen 3 reciprocates longitudinally of the bed 2 and during both strokes thereof the grinding wheel 7, being rotated and in contact with the work, is reducing.

After a predetermined movement of the platen, for instance after the same has completed one complete reciprocation, the grinding wheel 7 is given a transverse movement, for example by moving the oscillatory car rier 4; sidewise on the. cross rail or stationary shaft 5. \Vhile various means may be provided for this purpose, that illustrated and now to be described is quite satisfactory. Said cross-feed mechanism involves in its make-up a screw-as o1 which as shown is rotary but immovable in the direction of its axis of rotation, said cross bill being made tubular or hollow for a portion at least of its length, to receive said feed screw (Fig. 5'). The nut threaded onto said feed screw 31. 'is designated by 32, and it is so connected with the oscillatory carrier or arm 4 that while the latter may be properly fed transversely by the joint action of said feed screw and nut, said carrier can be freely oscillated for purposes of adjustment or otherwise, with out affecting the relation of the feed-screw and its nut or without moving the nut, for if this were not so or some equivalent means within the scope of the invention utilized, the carrier would be moved laterally when swung on its center of oscillation. The nut 32 is shown provided with an arm feeding portion or projection 33, said arm 4 just forward of its center of motion, having a slot or chamber 34- to receive said actuating portion or projection 33, the side edges of the latter engagii'i'g the opposite walls of said slot or chamber 34. The neck 35 connects the actuating and body portions of the nut 39, the cross rail 5 on its inner side having, an elongated slot 3tto receive this neck 35 which is flattened on its upper and lower surfaces to engage and slide against the flat walls of the longitudinal slot 36 and thereby prevent rotation of said nut 32. It will be clear, therefore, that the arm 4- can be freely swung on its center of motion without moving the nut 32, although when said nut is moved in either direction through the agency of the feeds-crew 31, it causes movement of the arm 4 crosswise of the machine. 1 The walls of the slot 36 may be notched as at 37 to provide for the introduction into the hollow of the cross rail 5, of the body of the nut 32, thus providing a simple means by which the nut and feed screw can be assembled. The said neck, guide or key ortion 35 is widened for instance by provlding it with lateral wings 38, to an extent sufficient to preventit dropping into the notch 37 during the feed movement of the nut; in fact the width of the neck 35 is greater than the length of the notches 37.

The driving means for the feed screw 31 is of such character preferably that said feed screw is given a step by step or intermittent movement, in the present case being operated at the conclusion of each full reciprocationbf the platen 3 so as to effect through the intermediate parts already described, a like action with respect to the grinding, wheel 7. The means for thus operating the feed screw may be of any suitable nature. Those illustrated which meet the conditions required will now be set forth.

The feed screw 31 extends into the boxing or casing 39 (FigsJfi and 7) which is'fastened to the cross rail or stationary shaft in some suitable manner as by one or more screws 40, and it has a bevel gear 41 in mesh with a bevel gear 42 fastened to the shaft 43 also extending into Said casing or boxing 39. The shaft 44 has its axis coincident with that of the shaft 43. 'As a matter of fact the two parts 43 and 44 might be considcred as a sectional shaft.

Between the shafts 43. and 44 there is preferably a device which permits slip or relative motion of the two shafts 43 and 44 so that should the tool 7strike an/obstruction or should it be arrested in its lateral V .movement from any other cause, noinjury will result to the machine owing to such connection. The frictional power transmitting member denoted in a general way by 45 answers suitably in this particular and now will be described. Fastened to the shaft 44 is the cup-like member 46 which incloses the collar 47 keyed or otherwise suitably fastened to the shaft 43, said euplike member 46 which incloscs the collar 47 keyed or otherwise suitably fasten d to the shaft 43, being equipped witha cap 48 and the two parts being drawn together by springs 49 encircling the screws 50 projecting through the 'body of the cup-like member 46 and tapped into the cap 48 therefor, the springs bearing against the heads of the screws and also against the cup-like member 46. Between the collar 7 and the bottom of the cup-like member 46 and also be- W1 said collar and the cap 48 are washers 51 of leather orothcr suitable material. The, construction just described presents a friction device whereby normally power will be transferred from the shaft 44 to the shaft- 43 to eflect'the cross motion of the.arm 4 through the intermediate parts. fastened to the shaft 44 is the bevel gear 52 in mesh with the bevel gear fixed to the shaft 54 having fastenedto it the bevel gear 55 in mesh with the bevel gear 56 fixed to the shaft 57, the latter having fastened to it a second bevel gear 58 (Fig. 8) in mesh with the bevel gear 59 on the shaft 60 (Figs. 8 and 9) which shaft is intermittently operated in some suitable manner but which may also be operated by hand; that is to say the shaft 60 is either automatically or manually operable.

The shaft 60 extends through an opening in the bed 2 and is surrounded by the sleeve or hollow shaft 62 (Fig. 8) also extending through said opening. Rigid with said sleeve or shaft 62 is the pinion 63 in mesh with the spur gear (34 keyed to the elongated hub of the pinion 65 supported by a stub shaft or pivot 66 within the bed 2, said pinion 65 in turn meshing with the spur gear 67 loose on the shaft 60. The pinion 63 is situated at one end of said sleeve or hollow shaft 62. Fastened to the other end of said hollow shaft 62 exteriorly of the bed 2 is the hand-wheel 68, the two parts being connected by one or more screws 69. This shaft 62 is adapted for alternate automatic and manual operations and rotates in the bushing 70 driven or otherwise closely fitted in said opening 61'. Pinned or otherwise connected with the shaft 60 for rotation therewith is the clutch-member 71, the pin 72 being shown for such purpose and ex tending through an elongated slot in said shaft 60 to thereby permit sliding movement of said clutch member on said shaft 60. Connected with said pin 72 is the operating rod 73 by which said clutch-member can be moved out or in, said clutch member having teeth74 to cooperate wtih teeth 75 on the adjacent surface of the hub of the spur gear 67. Rigidly connected with the outer end ofthe operating rod 73 and keyed as by a key 73 to the shaft 60 is the clutch-mem her 7 6 made in the form of a knob slidable on the shaft 60 and-provided with teeth 77 to cooperate with teeth 78 on the adjacent end of the hollow shaft 62. In Fig. 10 both clutch members 71 and 76 are shown as occupying their ineffective positions. It will be assumed that it. is desired to effect the automatic movement of the shaft 60. In. this event the clutch-memberor knob 76 is pulled out, thus moving thc=rod 73 and the clutch member 71 in a corresponding direction and carrying the teeth 74 into mesh with the teeth 75, so that when the shaft 62 is rotated, the shaft 60 through the interme diate connections already described, w'll be rotated in unison therewith to effect through the intermediate parts. also already dc? scribed, the transverse movement of the tool carrier or arm 4. By movingxthe' clutchmember 76 into engagement "with the shaft 62 and simultaneously mofiing the clutch member 71 into its inoperative relation, the power-feed will be disconnected from the shaft 60 so that when the wheel 68 is manually rotated it can, being then clutched.

or carrier for a pawl 81 which is preferablv' double acting in type and the two teeth of which (hereinafter described) are cotiperative with a ratchet wheel 82 (Figs. 9 and 10) on. the hollow shaft 62, said disk 80 being shown connected as by one or more screws 83, with the hand wheel 68. It will be clear that when the ratchet-wheel 82 is operated, the hand-wheel 68 and shaft 62 will be also operated, so that if said shaft 62 be clutched to the shaft 60, the tool-carrier or arm 4 will be moved crosswise of the bed 2, the amount. of crosswise movement depending upon the amount of movement of the ratchetwheel 82 or equivalent part, .This ratchet-wheel can be rotated in either direction owing to the fact that the pawl 81 is reversibly mounted to effect the transverse movement of said tool carrier or arm 4 in either direction. For instance after the said tool-carrier has completed its movement from the front to the rear of the machine, the return movement of said tool carrier can be accomplished by shifting the pawl 81 as will hereinafter more particularly appear.

Upon the disk is a stud or pivot til (X- tending through a circular opening in the pawl 81 and having the converging faces 85 and S6 engageable alternately by a plunger 87 constantly advanced by a spring 88. said plunger 87 and spring 88 being fitted in a bore in the pawl, closed by the screw 8?. The pawl has at its free end the teeth 90 and 91. the tooth 90 being shown in engagement with the ratchet wheel 82. By swinging the pawl around on its pivot 84, the tooth 91 can be positioned to engage the teeth of said ratchet wheel 82 to thus reverse the move ment of said ratchet wheel. The plunger 8? bearing against the face 86 yieldingly maintains the tooth 99 in engagement with the teeth of the ratchet wheel 82, while when the pawl is swung over so that the tooth 91 can engage the teeth of the ratchet wheel 92. the plunger 87 will engage the angular l op face 85 so as to also yieldingly cause the pawl to Ontfflfjc the ratchet wheel. pivot or stud 8i may as shown be provided with a flat fa'.e 92 to be engaged by the plunthe ger 87 when it is desired to hold the pawl 81 in an ineffective or non-engaging position for example at such time as the shaft 60 is being operated through the primary agency of the hand-wheel 68 to effect manual transverse adjustments of the tool-carrier or swinging arm 4.

Fastened to the front of the bed is a boxing 93 which incloses the pinion 7 9 (Figs. 9 and 10) and which also has a guideway for the rack barv94, the teeth of which mesh with said pinion 79. As will hereinafter appear this rack bar 94 is intermittently reciprocated, it being shown in Fig. 9 as being at the upper end of its movement. It will be supposed that said rack bar is drawn down. On the downward or advancing movement of the rack bar the pinion 79 is rotated, the disk 80 being given a movement of a corresponding extent, carrying the pawl 81 therewith and causing the tooth 90 to ride idly over the teeth of the ratchet wheel 82, said tooth 90 and the companion tooth 91 being beveled for such purpose. On the upward movement of the rack bar 94 the pinion 79 is oppositely moved thereby and motions of simila degree follow with respect to the disk 80 and the pawl 81, the pawl during this particular period being effective to feed the. ratchet wheel 82 to efiect as already described a similar motion of the shaft 62, the shaft 60 and cross motion of the arm & through the described connections.

There is shown pivoted to the rack bar 94 the link 95 (Figs. 9 and 10) having an adjustable connection with the wheel or disk 96 loose on the shaft 97. By reason of the adjustable connection between the link 95 and. the disk 96, the degree of movement of the rack bar ill and parts connected therewith including the arm 4, can be regulated. in other words this is one of the several ways which can be provided for adjusting the amount of intermittent transverse movement of the arm l. Within the hollow wheel 96 is the collar9S. the two being fastened together in any suitable manner as by one or more screws 99, the collar in fact constituting: a part of the wheel 90 and being directly yet loosely supported by the shaft 97 which is preferably continuously rotative. Said shaft 97 is shown provided with a wornr gear 100 (Figs. 10 and 11) engagea'ble by the worm 101 fastened in some suitable man- 9? and is given on each of said intermittent movements one full rotation so as to effec throuc h the parts already described one complete reciprocation of the rack bar 94. The means shown. for accomplishing this pirticular function will be hereinafter d1:

In F f) the block 126 is shown as'being at tho end of. its backward movement. On eta-h intermittent operation of this block 127 it moved or advanced first toward the left in Fig. 9 and than to the giosition in which 'it shown as occupying in said vivw. :sind block is thus advanced it so swings the angle lover 123 as to raise the rod 12:? and thereby through the tlossrihod parts from the pawl 11. The instant this occurs the ratchet, wheel 110 is (hitched to the Wheel 96 through the intervention of said pawl, to rotate said Wlliffl no in the manner already described.-

.lho reciprocation. of the block 126 is quite a n rapid one, and 1t )8 acooi iplished before the Wheel 96 makes its full t lt-n so that be- 7 fore said full turn of said 'lHBEl 96 boon iniu'lo the mo-h 116 will he inposition to disengage the pawl 11 from the ratchet 'wheel 110, this particular action being conolutlod at the moment the WllBQl on has made oiio "itlli rotation.

There may be instances where the bolt 134 or its equivalent may not be necessary, but the provision of the same insures accuracy and prevents overthrow.

Mounted in a boxing on the front of the machine (Figs. 1 and 13) is the rocker 137- cooperative with the detent 138 limited in its rocking motion by stops 139, the rocker 137 being bored-to receive the spring plunger 140 advanceable by the spring 141. The plunger 140 andvactive end of the detent 138 have engaging beveled surfaces. The rocker 137 is provided with a toothed segment 142, the teeth of which are in mesh with the pinion 1 13 to the shaft of which is fastened the arm 144 to which the link 128 (Fig. 9) is pivoted. This rocker 137 cooperates with dogs 145 and 146 adjustably connected with the reciprocatory platen or work carrier 3. It will be seen that one beveled face of the sprin plunger 140 is in engagement with one oi the beveled faces of the active portion of the detent 138 and that the latter is against one of the stop pins 139 orthat on the left in Fig. 13. It will be assumed that the platen 3 is traveling to ward the right in Fig. 13. When the platen has nearly completed its movement in this direction, the dog-145 will strike the upper end of the rocker 137 but will not initially siving said rocker over causing merely at first the movement of the spring plunger 140 backward and the consequent compression of the spring 14l,this action continuing until the beveled edge of the plunger 140meets the crown of the active portion of the detent 138 atwhich point the beveled portion of the plunger is caused to ride down the beveled surface of the detent swinging over said detent and at the same time causing the swing of the rocker 137. ()n the opposite movement of the platen 3 the operation of the rocker is repeated but reversed. On each motion of the rocker or arm 137 the arm 144 through its described connections with said rocker is swung. so that through the link 128 the block 126 will be reciprocatcd, the commencement of the reciprocation occurring practically at the conclusion of the stroke of the carriage or platen 3, so that as will be clear the tool 7 will be caused to move transversely at about the time the carriage or platen 3 has completed each of its movements.

It will be supposed that a piece, say of approximately rectangular work is clamped, chucked to or otherwise connected'with the reciprocatory platen or carriage 3, that the grinding whee 7 is in contact wlth the work at one corner, that the wheel 7 is being rofated and that the platen or carriage T being advanced. the carriage or platen advances and as the wheel 7 turns, the work is reduced to an extent agreeing with the width of the periphery of the Wheel 7. On the completion of the advancing movement of the carriage or platen '3 the tool or wheel carrier 7 is automatically shifted laterally as already described, so that on the return or backward. movement of the carriage or platen 3 the wheel 7 will reduce a sec nd. area next the first. area, these actions 1m lowing in regular sequence until the wheel 7 has reduced the entire surface of the work. At this point it is necessary to secure the a t vance of the lOOl-C8LFl8T 4 or its adjustment to deepen the cut. In the present case this is effected by manually-controlled means. although the same might very well be otherwise. After the advance or adjustment of the carrier or arm a has been etl'ected. the tool 7 will be in position to again reduce the work but in the illustrit on given. it will be in the corner of the work opposite that at which it originally started. In the meantime the pawl 81 will have been swung around to effect intermittently the step by step lateral movement of the carrier 4 in a direction opposite that which it primarily followed.

The two feed movements as I have termed them are automatic, although this may n t always be essential, while the adjustment or depth-of-cut movement, as it might be considered. is manually governed and may he accomplished through the agency of a movable support such that denoted in a eral way by 147 (Figs. and 11) and which as shown consists of a slide disposed at an angle to the swinging carrier or azvn 4, the bed 2 having ways 148 to receive and guide said movable support or slide 147 for oblique movement. ctween the movable support 147 and the arm 4 is interposed an abutment which may be of any suitable type and which is carried by one of said menihers for instance and as shown by the arm 4. Said abutment is denoted in a general way by 1-19 (Fig. 4) and it lll})ll tS n. frame as 150 and an anti-friction roller 151, the anti-friction roller being adapted to travel upon the track 152 (Fig. 2) con stituting the head of the movable support or slide 147, the length of said track 152 heing equal to the extent of transverse movementof the carrier or arm 4, so that the antifriction roller 151 will be in contact with said track during the entire transverse move ment of said carrier or arm 4. The antifriction roller 151 is rigid with a shaft the journal ortions of which are supported for rotation y the opposite checks or flanges 154 of the frame 150. Said frame 150 provided in turn with trunnions 15:3 up ported for rocking motion by the Wings 150 it'll) in parallelism with each other and depending from the arm 4. It will be clear that the abutment bctwccn the movable support 1-17 and arm 1 is not only swiveled but is 5 anti'fricli n in type, the axis of rotation of the roller 151 being transverse or approximately at right angles to the axis of oScil-. lation of the frame orbracket 154. Owing also to the construction described there is a correct. engaging relation between the arm 4,

and its movable support 147 which is primarily secured through the swivel mounting of the frame 151. As a matter of fact it is not always cssuitial that the anti-friction roller 151 be present, although the preferred type of abutment swiveled in order to assure correct working engagement hetwtcn the arm and its support throughout the various adjustments of the arm.

As already observed after the surface of the stock has been ground once the arm .1 is caused to advance or is adjusted which is accomplished in the present case through the movement primarily by hand, of the A5 support or. slide in a downward angular direction and any convenient .means may be secured for obtaining this particular movement of the slide or its equivalent. Those illustrated and now to be described answer satisfactorily. The lower portion of the slide 147 is chambered to receive the feed screw 157 cooperative with the nut 158 rigid with the slide 147, the feed screw 157 as shown being immovable in the direction of its axis of rotation. It will be clear thatwhen the feed screw 157 is rotated in the proper direction the slide 147 through the movement of the nut 158 is moved dowir vard, the extent of movement being in con respondence with the depth of cut to be made, which the operator will determine.

Fastcned to the feed screw 15? is the gear 160 in mesh with the gear 161 on the shaft 1653, said gear 161 in turn meshing with the gear 163 fast. on the shaft. 16-1; the bearing 165 fastened to the bed 2 being provided to sustain said two shafts and said teed screw. Fastened to the upper end of the shaft 164 is the worm 166 in mesh with the worm gear 167 fastened to the shaft 1653 (Figs. 11 and 1'2) which shaft 168 is supported by hearings on the bed. and it is equipped at its outer end with a hand wheel too by turningwhich the shaft H 9 can be r tated to cll'cct through the intermediat parts the drmnward movement of the Sup-. port Ill and hence corresponding movement of the carrier or arm 4 which follows by grariflv. said support or slide HT. To mumtcrbalancc the support 147 the weight 1T0 may be provided, said weight being c nnected to one end of the band or rope. tilt the opposite end of which is connected with the lap 17) on the support or slide, l' 'l'. said hand b tween its ends passingl around guide sheaves 173 and 174 on the bed 2.
